Summary:
I auditioned this speakers together with the Dali Grand and the B&W 805 Nautilus, and in my opinion there is only one winner. The Doxa has a Scan-Speak Revelator tweeter, a Seas 8" bass and a beautiful cabinet in 32mm massive wood.As far as sound goes they are unbeatable at the price. The soundstage is wide and as three-dimentional as the best dipoles. The midrange and treble also tops most speakers i`ve heard at this price level, and they almost made me regret shelling out loads of bucks on my Sonus Faber Extremas. There are very few compromises here. Compared to the Doxa the Dali Grand was terrible with lots of colouration in the lower midrange, and the 805 Nauts were a good number two, but with a very two-dimentional soundstage compared to the Doxas. The only speakers i`ve heard with such a deep and realistic sound stage is the Quad ESL 63-s but they lack in dynamics, a problem the Doxas don't have.
One warning though, with the big port on the back of the speaker they need quite a distance to the rear wall and a relatively big room not to get too bass-heavy.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
